Re: OpenWL/DL - two foundation libraries for building a cross-platform GUI with non-C++ languages

[treeform]

I use MinGW with nim on windows all the time. I have never heard of winpty or 
MSYS2. To get rid of the console for a windows app from nim we just pass 
\--app:gui not sure what you need to do in C++ to do that.

I manage to get some of OpenWL working on Mac with the help of @shashlick's 
modified script (here: 
[https://gist.github.com/treeform/47865e7d06694fc224f0c492cdee41d3](https://gist.github.com/treeform/47865e7d06694fc224f0c492cdee41d3)
 )
    
    
    import openwl
    
    echo wl_GetPlatform()
    
    proc eventLoop(window: wlWindow; event: ptr WLEvent; userData: pointer): 
cint {.cdecl.} =
      echo "here"
    
    var opts = WLPlatformOptions()
    discard wl_Init(eventLoop, addr opts)
    
    
    var props = WLWindowProperties()
    props.usedFields = ord(WLWindowProp_MinWidth) or 
ord(WLWindowProp_MinHeight) or ord(WLWindowProp_MaxWidth) or 
ord(WLWindowProp_MaxHeight)
    props.minWidth = 300
    props.minHeight = 200
    props.maxWidth = 1600
    props.maxHeight = 900
    
    let
      width = 800
      height = 600
    
    var mainWindow = wl_WindowCreate(cint width, cint height, "hello there, 
cross-platform friend āǢʥϢ۩ใ ♥☺☼", nil, addr props)
    
    wl_WindowShow(mainWindow) # <-- segfaults
    
    discard wl_Runloop()
    
    
    Run

I am getting SIGSEGV when trying to show the window. Is there anything extra I 
need to do to the window to make it showable? Like add a menu or do any of the 
things in platformInit? Do you have a super minimal openWL example?
